Paws & Claws, a pet specialty retailer that recently opened a store at 30997 Five Mile Road in Livonia, will hold a grand-opening celebration on Saturday, Aug. 29.

The store specializes in pet food, pet supplies and grooming but does not sell any live animals.

“We sell cat toys and treats, dog toys and treats and cat and dog food,” manager McKenna Hall said. “Most of our products are made and sourced in America or Michigan. We sell grain-free foods and treats, also gluten-free. We sell natural bones, pet food and treats.”

Paws & Claws, which has other stores in Michigan, Ontario and British Columbia, has a consulting veterinarian on staff who stays current on all new and relevant nutritional trends, according to the company’s website. Each staff member undergoes training to learn about pet nutrition and the products the company offers.

“We are educated and know what is best for your animals,” Hall said.

The store will price match on everything it sells. It offers discounts to members of AARP, AAA, the military, police, and many more. “We are very friendly and open to our customers,” Hall said. “If they are specifically looking for something, I will order it in for them if it is possible.”

Paws & Claws also works with rescue groups that come in once or twice a month. In addition, a non- emergency vet clinic offers affordable care, Hall said.

The grand-opening, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29, will feature grilled hot dogs, chips, drinks, several sales and a raffle jar. The rescue group Almost Home will be there from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Regular store hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit www.pncstores.com or call 734-237-7683.
